Abstract

This chapter, while broadly describing the higher education system in the United States, focuses on the liberal arts education, its history, growth, challenges, and developments. Education has a pivotal role in human development, contributing to societal growth and economic development. While the U.S. continues to be the country of choice for higher education for international students, the recent statistics show a steady decline in the inflow of international students thanks to rapid advances in technology, making easy and affordable access to remote education. However, this can be seen as an opportunity for higher educational institutions and yet another opportunity for reaching international students globally.
